Dammit now I want a baglama... Nadine, the lyrics are like those terrible cuts from edged instruments/tools/knives/secateurs where it slices to the bone and hardly hurts to begin with, so sharp is the instrument, then...bites and tears. Most felt, thank you. Ambroise, the whole song voice and main backing has that darkness and lost-ness (?my brain won't deliver the right word) but that treble spark of the baglama is the crucial element to lift the whole song up to another level. Applause!

Oh goodness, this is so dark...and yeah... It's It's definitely an electrified medieval sort of vibe. Super cool. I love the gruff vocals contrasting with the bağlama especially. I really like this chord progression, too. Great collab!

Love the darkness you've accomplished here, musically and lyrically. (I actually used this instrument -- which I'd never played before -- on one of my songs this past month.) I like "bending the arc" and the literal and figurative meanings it can have.

The metal sound works really well with the baglama. I've never heard of a baglama before but it creates wonderful medieval and folk sounds. @nadine 's lyrics are amazing, and your instrumentals suit the song. #tit4tat (ambroise)

I love the darkness and character development in these great lines. The medieval sounding music with the gritty hushed vocals and cool instrumental layers works perfectly to create a haunting piece!

The baglama is a very cool sound I'd never heard before, and it does produce a nice medieval effect. Some really nice lyrics here, describing the archer very well. Great collab!

What an interesting fuzzy soundscape here. The baglama is something I’ve never even heard of, but it creates a wonderful medieval vibe. I love Nadine’s lyrics, especially “hurting deeper than any paper stain”.

Now this is a cool bit of getting into character. Those gravely vocals, paired with the shrill guitar, really take me to that place. I can see the narrator singing from a dark corner, tired from battle. Many, many battles. Great lyrics and musical choices, interesting and unique character development. Cool!

A fascinating juxtaposition of the distorted guitar and the baglama, with the harmonica adding a third contrasting texture. Very hard to classify as so many different contrasting styles are all mashed up together. A thought provoking listen

Wow - a totally different sound for you! I like the distorted electric guitar combined with the traditional-sounding baglama. Like a medieval ensemble in a battle with a metal band! Evocative lyrics that really convey the olden vibe.

The music is very cool. It is an interesting melding of sounds. I kept trying to catch it all as I listened. Great lyrics. Dark and moody. This is super cool. Great collab!

That baglama with the fuzz soundscape makes for a real interesting sound… I really like your voice @ambroise and while part of me wants to hear it higher in the mix, having to “lean in” to hear is a really cool effect…. Great work team.

Reads epic. Plays epic. Love what is happening with the arrangement, lining of perfect with the lyrics. And epic apparently can define electronica. Brilliant, folks!

Oooh! I like the dichotomy between the saturated electric sound and the snarky and sweet at the same time melody from the baglama. And I like your voice raw like that. ♥

So glad someone took a stab at this as these lyrics were very striking (pun?). Very creative take with the instrumentation, very evocative, matching the strong visuals of the lyrics.

Some really cool polyrhythmic effects going on here musically. Strong lyric too.
